Samuel Hiira
I help people start — first drills, career direction, first 90 days.
My availability varies based on a rotating shift schedule as I work a rotational shift pattern in a 24/7 SOC environment.
Samuel Hiira is a cyber defender with over 3 years of experience across SOC operations, IT support, and training, delivering value to great organisations: Amref Health Africa, Yelbridges, Amica Savings & Credit, and currently HF Bank, each one shaping how Samuel thinks about security and people. In IT support, Samuel found joy not just in solving problems, but in finding smarter ways to solve them, and discovered a genuine love for helping beginners find their footing in the field. What drives Samuel's SOC career is curiosity, about what is happening inside the network and out there in the threat landscape. At HF Bank, Samuel monitors systems, investigates alerts, and researches events to stay one step ahead of attackers. Beyond defending, Samuel is on a mission called "Be Aware": helping everyone understand their security environment, from top management understanding their exposure to employees knowing how to stay safe online. Believing you can only teach what you truly understand, Samuel masters a domain before stepping in front of anyone to share it.
